NYDUCATI is a collection of Tigho's motorcycle photography from New York City and around the world, the bikes he encounters and the beauty of riding a Ducati StreetfighterR (custom 1198), a 848/1098/1198 track bike, a 996 and a Monster.

899: Baby Ducati Panigale

A buddy of mine is taking this bike across the country.

Ducati Desmosedici RR on Display

The story goes that the owner crashed his Ducati Desmosedici RR, and needed a bunch of bodywork done, so he brought it to Rockwell Cycle. This bike was apparently his daily ride, which is rather incredible as there were only 1500 of these motorcycles ever made and they cost $72,500 new in 2006.

Rockwell Cycle and DESMO Ducati Holiday Parties

Drove up to Bear Mountain for the first time (in a car) for Rockwell Cycle's annual holiday party. The staff is fantastic, and I got to see my buddy's brand new white 899. Great food, music and a bunch of pretty Ducs.

Custom Triumph Chopper off Bowery

Though I'm not a huge fan of the genre, I stumbled on this pretty custom Triumph chopper out making a fancy Saturday beer run to my favorite spot in the city, New Beer, on Chrystie between Rivington and Delancey on the Lower East Side.

Sexy Modded Ducati GT1000 SportClassic on Orchard Street

Ok, so there might be something wrong with me. I just spent a couple hours watching a rather provocative burlesque show at The Slipper Room on the Lower East Side, but the sexiest thing I saw all night was parked across the street on Orchard Street and Stanton.

This totally naked custom GT1000 was custom painted (you don't see too many in all black), what looked like motocross tires, clip-ons, a full tail chop and a funky exhaust.

Ear Inn: DOCNYC Tuesdays in Tribeca

Several friends have invited me to the Ear Inn, where on Tuesdays there is an impromptu bike meet up in downtown Manhattan, at one of the oldest existing bars in Manhattan. I finally went with the DOCNYC on Tuesday, and though initially we were hassled by the cops a little bit, we had a great time, and even went dancing at the Spanish tapas bar Kaña next door.

NYDucati Lands on Plymouth Rock

On the way back from Cape Cod, the sun was setting and I stopped off at Plymouth Rock. Even though I had an hour left to go to get back to Boston, I was glad I did.

Biking to Boston and Cape Cod

Last Sunday I decided to take a trip out to Cape Cod Massachusetts. I rode out to meet a friend in Chatham, Mass on the southwest of the Cape. Behind my bike you can see Cape Cod Canal, which connects Buzzard's Bay to Cape Cod Bay

Riding Out through Western Massachusetts

Out in the woods in Western Mass - Somewhere South of Hartford

I tried my best to find a scenic route from New York City to Boston, but not only did I forget my winter gloves in 50 degree weather, I didn't realize that much of Connecticut and Eastern Massachusetts are a rather boring drive. I started up 684 to Danbury, then up 202 to New Milford to Nepaug State Forest.

Brooklyn Invitational Custom Bike Show 2013

Stumbled on the Brooklyn Invitational Custom Bike Show out riding today...

I was out riding with my girlfriend around Central Park, then out to Queens and down into Brooklyn, when we stumbled on several hundred rowdy bikers (see Harley guys burning rubber above). We stopped, and besides the bikers, were hundreds of custom motorcycles, mostly of the chopper variety.

There weren't too many Italian bikes (I only spotted a few Ducatis and a Guzzi or two), but there were plenty of Harley Davidsons and Triumphs.

Some guys were excited; others a bit more subdued.

The Empire State Building and Manhattan Skyline as a backdrop to the Bike Rally.

NYDucati goes to LIC

My girlfriend arms were hurting, as she's not too used to riding long distances, so we pulled up in the parking lot of some waterfront industrial park in Long Island City to take a break.

To our amazement, in the corner of the parking lot behind a twenty foot chain-link fence was a waterfront bar called Anabel Basin with incredible views of New York City.

MV Agusta F4RR, F3 800 Triple, and a Brutale 800 in the Showroom at Rockwell Cycle

I, for one, am pretty excited about the new line of Italian imports coming from Italy this year. I don't think MV Agustas are quite as pretty as Ducatis, but they're comparable in performance, craftsmanship and of course the pricetag. This 2013 MV Agusta F4RR retails for around $25,000, though a base F4 starts at around $20K.

Weird, Can Am 3 Wheel Scooter?

Ok, so this isn't a Ducati, but it was a bizarre bike. I stumbled across this Dodge Prowler-style scooter chained to a lampost in Chinatown. I couldn't find a make, so I'm not sure if it was custom scooter or just another weird bike out of China (of which there are tons in downtown NYC).

Major Mods on this Magnificent Monster

I'm not sure if this was for sale, or just in the shop at Rockwell Cycle, but this was one of the wildest monsters I've ever seen. No cans, just baffles, twin-headlights, custom painted chromo tank, aftermarket belt-covers, open clutch cover, custom guages and carbon fiber everywhere and spoked, tubed rims.
